Ade Gardner

St Helens winger Ade Gardner will play for Cumbria in the Garry Purdham memorial game against England at Whitehaven's Recreation Ground on Sunday, October 3.

The Barrow-born Gardner, whose last appearance for England was in the 2008 World Cup, has thrown his weight behind the fixture, which is being held to support the family of Garry Purdham, who lost his life in the Cumbria shooting tragedy earlier this year.

"It's a privilege to represent your county but it's an even bigger honour to represent the Purdham family and a community that has been through a lot in the past 12 months," said Gardner
